Find out more about accessibility at Te Papa

In Passports you’ll uncover the remarkable stories of people who migrated to New Zealand over the last 200 years – from the cramped steerage on board an 1840s sailing ship, to fearful flight from war-torn Europe, and more recent voyages into the unknown down under.

The cultural richness and diversity of the regional lifestyles of British and Irish migrants are screened on video and maps. Images of other regions, including China, India, Dalmatia, Greece, and the Pacific tell of other regional lifestyles.
